This is what I'm asking.

Are you looking to keep a very high % saturation of DO to maximize on aerobic bacteria throughout the entire pond.
This is what I want without the extra noise of running the compressor or wasting electricity if I can keep from it.

It's a 1.5 year old pond that is spring feed with very little organic material. It has bg, re, ccat, fat head, and bass coming next month. I am feeding and we do swim in it on occasionally. I'm looking for a testing procedure that I can do for this pond throughout the season.
